A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

beautiful! I love that word vernissage; it has such an interesting history.

I remember the first vernissage I was invited to and literally it means painting clear lacquer on a piece of furniture or floors…well, that was my use of the word in French until I learned another meaning and it was used in the English language too.

Yes, while I haven’t been to a vernissage, I ran into the word in a book series I like and read up about it. 🙂
